Losing my add-ons

After a reinstall of Firefox I lost all my add-ons. This gave me a noticeable speed improvement, so I decided to reinstall only those add-ons I really couldn't live without. Part of my strategy was to replace add-ons with bookmarklets whenever possible. I'm back to 5 add-ons now:

  1. Delicious Bookmarks
    Real integration with a browser feature. Bookmarklets work, but not as beautifully as this add-on.
  2. Dictionary Switcher
  3. Dutch Dictionary (Woordenboek Nederlands)
    It switches the spelling checker between various languages. I write both Dutch and English texts daily, so these are a big help. Actually I houldn't count the dictionary as an add-on, but Firefox does.
  4. Firebug
  5. Web Developer
    I'm a web developer, I just need these.

The 2 bookmarklets I use are "Post to Evernote" and "Share on Posterous". Don't find myself missing much, and I've seriously lost some add-on weight with this setup.
